DAYVILLE — For the 11th consecutive year, Westview Health Care Center, a 103-bed skilled nursing facility, has been reported to be among America’s Best in the U.S. with a 5 Star Overall Rating, according to U.S. News and World Report.
“Year after year, our amazing staff of health care professionals work so hard to provide the best of quality care matched with exceptional customer service,” said Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos. “Plain and simple, our incredibly dedicated employees are the driving force behind these accolades and such a distinction.”
The report has based its findings from the federal government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Nursing Home Compare data on over 15,500 nationwide Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the country. CMS sets and enforces standards for nursing homes enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid. The facility’s overall rating is geared to its performance in state conducted health inspections, nurse and therapy staffing, and quality of medical care. The ratings are combined to produce an overall rating of one to five stars and Westview holds a perfect 5 star rating in each category.
The Nursing Home Compare report has detailed information that allows consumers to compare information with other nursing homes.
U.S. News and World Report’s Best Nursing Homes information aims to make one of life’s decisions a little easier by providing nursing home performance ratings to millions of Americans who are researching nursing homes to find the highest rated homes likely to meet their needs and level of expectation.
Westview has remained one of the United States America’s Best 5 Star overall rated facilities since the inception of the U.S. News and World Report published article on May 9, 2009, and the only nursing home with a perfect 5 star rating in every category in Windham County today.
